Table 6.2 looks at the sectors in which different nationalities work. It illustrates a clustering of Poles and Portuguese in manufacturing, but the big difference is in distribution, hotels and restaurants, where only 19 per cent of UK nationals work, compared with 51 per cent of Bangladeshis, 41 per cent of Chinese and 44 per cent of Somalis. While 29 per cent of UK nationals work in public administration, education and health, 35 per cent of Indians, 38 per cent of Nigerians, 42 per cent of Somalis and 35 per cent of Irish nationals work in these areas.
